Overview

Meta-analysis compares microwave ablation and surgery for solitary T1N0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma, suggesting benefits of MWA.

Key Points

  • This analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation versus surgical intervention for solitary T1N0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma.
  • Performed systematic literature review across multiple databases including PubMed and Scopus.
  • Compared oncological outcomes, complications, and surgery-related indicators between MWA and surgery.
  • Conducted subgroup analysis for T1A and T1B tumor stages.
  • MWA showed no significant differences in local tumor progression and new-onset tumors compared to surgery.
  • Significantly reduced overall complication rates, operation time, and hospital stay.
  • Improved quality of life outcomes and reduced treatment costs associated with MWA.
